How to be a feminist dad with Jordan Shapiro - a podcast by Dr. Cam

In this episode, Dr. Cam talks with Dr. Jordan Shapiro, author, educator, researcher, and father of 4.

Jordon is the author of the best-selling, critically acclaimed book The New Childhood and has a Tedx talk: Parenting for the Future - The New Childhood. He teaches in Temple University’s Intellectual Heritage Program, is a senior fellow for the Joan Ganz Cooney Center at Sesame Workshop, and nonresident fellow in the Center for Universal Education at the Brookings Institution. 

Today we're digging into his upcoming book, Father Figure: How to be a Feminist Dad, which offers a norm-shattering perspective on fatherhood, family, and gender essentialism. We discuss how important it is for parents to interrogate the family norms we take for granted--particularly around screens and gender. Jordan explains how we must recognize that our unconscious (and sometimes conscious) commitment to outdated narratives is betraying our own best intentions.
